Situatie

When you inadvertently press Insert on your keyboard, it toggles to Overtype mode. This means anything you type next will overwrite the text that follows the cursor. Fortunately, you can disable this annoying key in Windows 10.

SharpKeys is free software you can use to edit the specific Registry entry for you. It uses a graphical interface to remap keys on the keyboard. This tool makes it easy to make the necessary change to the Registry without actually having to open Registry Editor.

To do this, fire up a browser, head over to the SharpKeys GitHub page, and download the most recent release.

After you install SharpKeys, open it from the Start menu, and then click “Add” when it opens.

Click "Add."

Scroll through the list on the left and click “Special: Insert (E0_52),” click “Turn Key Off (00_00)” in the list on the right, and then click “OK” to remap the key.

Click "Special: Insert (E0_52)," click "Turn Key Off (00_00)," and then click "OK."

The value in the parentheses is the key scan code associated with it, so the Insert key’s code is “00_52.” We want to disable it, so we replace the code with the nonexistent “00_00.”

Next, click “Write to Registry,” and SharpKeys adds the values to the Windows Registry for you.

Click "Write to Registry."

Click “OK.”

Click "OK."

For the changes to take effect, you have to log out or restart your computer.

You can also use SharpKeys to disable other annoying keys, like Caps Lock.
